Should Vietnamese beauty queens and runner-ups "go headlong" into international competitions?

Many Vietnamese beauties are not very successful domestically, they only start to get noticed when they achieve success in the international arena. This raises the question of whether beauty queens and runners-up can only be successful when they go abroad?

There was a time when a beauty queen's statement about Miss Runner-up Quynh Chau: "Have you competed internationally yet?" became a controversial topic on social networking forums. The question here is whether it is necessary to be "strict" about Vietnamese beauty queens being "exported"? Previously, competing internationally was not a major issue. Therefore, a series of Vietnamese beauty queens and runner-ups frankly refused to be sent to compete in Miss World or Miss Universe, even though these are the two most prestigious competitions on the planet.

International competitions are gradually gaining more attention when some beauties achieve "golden marks" that make the public "proud". We must mention the case of H'Hen Nie with the achievement of Top 5 - Miss Universe 2018 and Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien with the coronation of Miss Grand International 2021. That is why the audience "regrets" when runner-up Huong Ly or runner-up Thao Nhi Le missed the opportunity to compete in Miss Universe. Or the fact that they always look forward to the day runner-up Quynh Chau appears on the Miss Grand International stage.

In 2022 alone, there will be 30 beauty contests held. Applying the basic math, if each contest produces 1 Miss and 2 Runners-up. It is estimated that during this period, there will be hundreds of Miss and Runners-up. And the public has repeatedly asked the question: "What is the future for international competitions of Miss and Runners-up from new contests that have no recognition?".

The press conference to announce the Miss Vietnam 2024 contest was held in Hanoi. At the press conference, the representative of the contest's organizing committee gave an official answer regarding the international competition slots for the new Miss Vietnam and the runners-up in the new season. Accordingly, the new Miss Vietnam and the runners-up all have the opportunity to compete in the international arena. However, the problem of "bringing the bell to fight in foreign lands" will take place after the beauties have completed their mission in the domestic arena. Specific information about the international competitions - where the representatives from Miss Vietnam are preparing to compete - will be announced later.

Speaking at the press conference, the head of the Miss Vietnam 2024 organizing committee said: "The Miss Vietnam contest is a contest to honor the beauty, looks and values of Vietnamese women. First of all, we must fulfill the mission of the Miss Vietnam contest before you step into the international arena. Your participation in the international arena is an extremely legitimate aspiration.

Before coming to Miss Universe, Miss Ky Duyen fell into a situation where she missed the opportunity to compete internationally due to a series of scandals she was involved in in 2014. However, the beauty queen from Nam Dinh still developed her career in the fashion industry. Miss Ky Duyen even became one of the Vietnamese beauty queens with great recognition and influence on social networks. Although she did not compete internationally, runner-up Thao Nhi Le still participated in many entertainment events. She also had an impressive appearance on the red carpet of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

Runner-up Huong Ly is no exception when she "swept" her heels away on the catwalks and was "chosen" to hold important positions in Miss Universe Vietnam or TV shows about models. Runner-up Quynh Chau missed out on international competitions many times but is now considered one of the "multi-talented" beauty queens, as she can work in many fields such as fashion, film and beauty.

In fact, many beauties who achieved international success lacked highlights when they returned to their artistic activities afterwards. They accepted to put aside their titles to compete again, looking for opportunities to go to Miss Universe to regain their glory. However, reaching this fierce playground is not easy. "Win all, lose all", if they fail, it is difficult for them to reuse the old titles they achieved before. Because, competition between contests is inevitable.

In addition, some Misses and Runners-up choose to develop their careers in a completely new field such as acting or singing. Here, international titles are only secondary, supplementary factors, not decisive for their success. Misses and Runners-up, when wanting the public to accept them as singers and actors, must possess both well-rounded skills and outstanding personal marks.
